Marionette lines with chin and jowl filler: treating the support, in Seomyeon, Busan

Why marionette lines rarely start in the crease

With age, the fat compartments of the lower face thin and slide downward, and the bone at the chin and jaw gradually recedes. A shallow hollow forms just in front of the jowl, and the tissue beside the mouth drops into it. The visible result is a line running down from each mouth corner, plus a mouth that looks turned down at rest.

Seen this way, the crease is the last step of a larger change. Filling only the groove adds volume to the fold while the loss of scaffolding underneath stays as it was.

How chin filler helps downturned mouth corners

Hyaluronic acid placed at the chin point gives the lower lip and mouth corners a firmer base, and a little extra length or projection can lift the way the lower third reads from the side. Filler set into the pre-jowl hollow straightens the line of the jaw, so the shadow that runs from the mouth corner toward the jowl becomes shorter and softer.

Once that support is in place, the marionette lines often need less product, which keeps the mouth area from looking padded. The chin is a low-movement area, so filler there tends to last longer, generally around six to eighteen months, while marionette filler generally holds for six to twelve months.

Who suits a marionette and chin filler plan

This combination fits best when the chin is short or set back, when a pre-jowl hollow is visible, or when the mouth looks downturned even with a relaxed face. It fits poorly when the jowl skin has already hung below the jawline, where a thread lift or an ultrasound lift deals with the descent more directly than volume can.

Filler is postponed during pregnancy or breastfeeding, with active infection in the area, or if you have reacted to hyaluronic acid or lidocaine in the past. A previous chin implant and any blood thinners should be mentioned first. Possible effects include bruising, swelling, asymmetry, small lumps and, rarely, infection.

What the combined lower-face appointment involves

Numbing cream goes on first. Each area takes roughly ten to twenty minutes, so treating the chin, pre-jowl hollow and marionette lines together runs a little longer than a single area. Swelling and bruising usually settle within a few days. The chin filler can also be paired with botulinum toxin to relax a tense chin muscle, a combination the clinic already offers.

Facial filler at Barog Clinic passes 100,000 recorded cases since 2021, and sixteen filler products have genuine-product certificates on display, so the syringe can be checked ahead of use.

Pricing marionette and chin filler in one plan

Both areas are priced per cc on the facial filler rows of the price board, with VAT added separately. Marionette filler starts from ₩60,000 and chin filler from ₩60,000 with the entry product. Longer-lasting options for the marionette area are listed at ₩80,000 and ₩270,000. The final quote depends on how many cc the chin and each side need, which the doctor confirms in person.
